If you couldn't be bothered to write this, why should I be bothered to read it?
If you don't want to read it, then don't. It was just an experiment to see what an AI generator could do, with my direction. I felt that out of all the stories I tried out, this one was one of the better ones and felt like the one that would fit into a site like this the best. Eventually, I figured that I could write episodes for the alternate options, but I wanted to get the main story that's already been generated posted first.
Personally, I think it's alright. I've mentioned it to that one guy who keeps accusing authors of being AI trolls because of some of the pixels and having seen a few AI stories in his day (old meme, he's full of shit), but AI isn't against the rules here.
Additionally, it is not like #51 is just shoveling unfiltered slop into the text box. He said himself that this is the best of of several attempts. Human evaluation and human editing counts for a lot.
Altogether, I've tried out 19 different story concepts, using ChatGPT. And while all of it is quite amazing (details, dialog), it feels like the AI program has an agenda. And I don't think it should, since it's not a person. But whenever I try to get it to generate something, it seems to want there to be some kind of moral to the story. And it doesn't want the stories to offend anyone. Political correctness, I guess. Sometimes, I write a synopsis for a continuation of the story, and the generator simply tells me that it can't do it. "I'm sorry, but I can't continue with this request," is what it tells me. When I first saw that, I just stared at it, dumbfounded.
All-in-all, I'd much rather write stories myself. I don't really care about PC and the only limitation I have is my own imagination.
Two of the other stories I generated with ChatGPT are being posted on my DeviantArt account (https://www.deviantart.com/anonymous51/gallery/93347493/literature-and-videos).
One is called "The Tome of Velvet Truth", which is about a scorned lesbian woman who uses a magical book to transform other people into various types of proud lesbians. Overall, the story kind of turned out well, but it really feels like ChatGPT is forcing the story to be pro-left and anti-right, politically-speaking. Normally, I'd have that point-of-view coming from Rowena (the one changing people with the magic book), but it really feels like the AI generator is the one that has that POV, making it sound like she's the hero of the story, instead of the villain. After all, she is changing people against their will, both physically and mentally (essentially brainwashing them), but the AI makes it sound like there's no brainwashing happening, that these people always desired to be lesbians, even the men. That's odd, right? I mean, hundreds of people living in the same town just happened to have the same hidden desire?
The other story I'm posting is called "Tuesdays in Fairhaven", and is about the people within a moderately-small conservative town being transformed in some way, every Tuesday, without any explanation. But each Tuesday, these people get to experience something that they may never want to, or be able to. This one worked out pretty well too, though again, the AI generator makes it sound like a lot of these people had hidden desires to be whatever they turned into, but that things like tradition and religion was holding them back, as if those things are completely irrational things.
So AI can do some amazing things, but like I said earlier, I think people (as long as they're not atrocious writers, spelling and grammatical-wise) are better at giving me the type of stories that I want to read.
Eh, I would say that the AI isn't specifically trying to ruin your fetish fic so much as it lacks internal experience in the philosophical sense and is just spitting out the next word based on how it's mapped the last 5-10k words in the latent space. It's probably trained a lot more on touchy-feely transformation stories than the sorts of things we'd write.
And since Chat GPT is closed source, it's not like we can train a lora on all your thousands of posts here to create your robot clone. And to be fair, they probably scraped the whole Adventure at some point, and then purged it from the data set because "think of the children!" But then, maybe a general purpose AI that anyone can use should have some guardrails when it comes to that. It kind of sucks for the rest of us, but if some twelve year old can load it up and go "hey, robot, write me some porno" that's kind of a legal and political firestorm waiting to happen.
